 Printmakers I

One of Japan's foremost contemporary printmaking artists, Fumio Fujita's art is a beautiful blend depicting landscape, particularly trees and abstract patterns. Patterns are inherent to the natural world and Nature then is perhaps the unifying thread in all of Fumio's varied work.


Fumio Fujita belongs to the ‘sōsaku-hanga’ school of printmaking : an art movement in early 20th cen Japan “that stressed the artist as the sole creator motivated by a desire for self-expression, and advocated principles of art that is ‘self-drawn’, ‘self-carved’ and ‘self-printed’ “ wikipedia

An absorbing blend of color and form characterise Fumio's printmaking - I was enchanted when I discovered his work.  See more here.
